Publisher's summary

Random House presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Emily by Val Wood, read by Anne Dover.

Emily was only five years old when she was sent away from her ma and pa and her brother, Joe, to go and live with old Granny Edwards.

A loving and hardworking child, she goes into service when she is 12 at the house of Roger Francis, whose connections with Emily's own family prove to be closer than she could ever have guessed.

Roger's daughter, Deborah, takes a great fancy to Emily, and when Emily has moved to another household in Hull she finds that her new employer's son, Hugo, is to marry Deborah. But Hugo, too, has taken a fancy to Emily and dishonours and then betrays her to such an extent that she is imprisoned, tried and deported to Australia.

But just when her fortunes seem to be at their lowest ebb, Emily is reunited with the one man who can save her from her miserable existence and bring her wealth and happiness.

Emily the stupid

I could easily hate this book/story the book starts out promising ok so we wait for Emily to grow up and be mature what a surprise even to the end of the book she acts like the idiot she's through out the book and I wonder why Philip even bother
Megan and Joe story is so much better the writer wants us to believe only Deborah is crazy but I think Emily is not to right in the head too the only 5 stars is the narrator A D did an excellent job
